The Recorded Sayings of Zen Master Joshu / translated by James Green:
134.
A monk asked, "What about it when the clear moon is in the sky?"
The master said, "What's your name?"
The monk said, "Me.”
The master said "Where is ‘the clear moon in the sky’?"
153.
A monk asked, "I have just come here and know nothing. What are my duties?"
The master said, "What's your name?"
The monk said, "Hui-han (Enan).”
The master said, "A fine ‘knowing nothing’ that is."
154.
A monk asked, "I am striving to learn, but that is to slander you. How can I not slander you?"
The master said, "What's your name?"
The monk said, “Tao-chiao."
The master said, "Go to a quiet place, you rice bag.”
161.
A monk asked, "The name of Chao-chou (Joshu) is heard far and wide, why is it that he cannot be seen?"
The master said, "It's my fault."
